It felt for a second that fb would consume the market with groups, but that has thankfully not happened.

I do miss searchable public forums specializing in topics.

I imagine that one thing are big anonymous entertainment focused internet spaces like the Reddit front page or this place somewhat, and another completely different are those smaller spaces where a particular subject or group of familiar people meet to talk about something specific. The latter is more exciting to me in the long term.

Yeah, me too. Subreddits cover some of the use cases for me, but threads are more different to search compared to the forums.
